                    Certifications of Chief Executive Officer
         Pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and
                           Item 307 of Regulation S-K

I, Peter Deros, certify that:

    1.   I have reviewed this annually report on Form 10-K of May 31, 2003;

    2.   Based on my knowledge, this annually report does not contain any untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
         to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which
         such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period
         covered by this annually report;

    3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
         information included in this annually report, fairly present in all
         material respects the financial condition, results of operations and
         cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in
         this annually report;

    4.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
         establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
         defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and
         we have:

         a)   designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
              material information relating to the registrant, including its
              consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others with
              those entities, particularly during the period in which this
              annually report is being prepared;

         b)   evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
              controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the
              filing date of this annually report (the "Evaluation Date"); and

         c)   presented in this annually report our conclusions about the
              effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on
              our evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

    5.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based
         on our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the
         audit committee of registrant's board of directors (or persons
         performing the equivalent function):

         a)   all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of
              internal controls which could adversely affect the registrant's
              ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data
              and have identified for the registrant's auditors any material
              weaknesses in internal controls; and

         b)   any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
              other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
              internal controls; and

    6.        The registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated in
              this annually report whether or not there were significant changes
              in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
              affect internal controls subsequent to the date of our most recent
              evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to
              significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
